Description:
There’s a lot of ways to live lushly in Bali; escaping city bustle and immersing yourself in local culture is certainly one of the best. This guide takes you away from tourist- and traffic-clogged South Bali and elevates you to the gentle foothills of genteel Ubud. Aside from boasting some of the best arts and crafts on the island, Ubud is home to a host of high-end resorts and spas, as well as one of the best restaurants in Southeast Asia. No wonder celebrities in the know choose Ubud as their preferred paradise. Hey, you may even rub shoulders with some as you soak in the splendor of Bali.
Day Note:
You'll wake to the sun slanting through the windows of your private villa at Amandari. Maybe you'll take a dip in your private pool, or sip coffee on your private terrace. You could do just fine letting the expert concierge book customized tours for you, or you could have them arrange a car for you and hit the sights yourself. Head into the center of Ubud for some of the best shopping on the island. Browse through galleries like Toko, Toko East and Okrakartini...read more
